In early 2019 Steinmetz Real Estate Professionals guided the sale of an exceptionally renovated side-entrance Colonial at 95 Greenlawn Avenue in Newton Centre. Thoughtfully updated from top to bottom, this four-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath residence blends timeless character with today’s lifestyle. Set on a 6,500-square-foot lot with 1,868 square feet of living space, the home captured the attention of buyers seeking a move‑in ready property in the coveted Mason‑Rice neighborhood. Listed at $1.399 million, it went under contract in 89 days and closed in February 2019 for $1.36 million.
The interior of this home exudes an airy, open concept feel rarely found in classic Colonials. The living room, dining room and kitchen flow seamlessly together, anchored by custom cabinetry, gleaming countertops and high‑end appliances. A bright sunroom off the main living area doubles as an office or playroom and brings in natural light year‑round. Upstairs the owners’ suite features a newly added en‑suite bath and walk‑in closet, while three additional bedrooms share a modern full bath. Rich hardwood floors, high ceilings, Anderson windows, central air and contemporary lighting accentuate the home’s craftsmanship.
What truly sets this property apart is the lifestyle it offers. The large, level and fenced yard feels like an extension of the home with its gracious patio, built‑in grill and space for lawn games. A two‑car garage and off‑street parking add convenience. Its location—just blocks from Newton Centre’s shops, restaurants and library, Crystal Lake, the Green Line T, commuter rail and houses of worship—appeals to families and professionals alike. Children can walk to the highly regarded Mason‑Rice Elementary School, and nearby parks and playgrounds make the neighborhood especially family‑friendly.
The sale of 95 Greenlawn Avenue underscored the strength of Newton’s market for updated, move‑in ready homes. Through strategic pricing, professional staging and targeted marketing, Steinmetz Real Estate Professionals generated strong interest and guided the sellers through multiple showings. Even with competition from new construction, buyers were drawn to the home’s blend of classic charm and modern convenience and its walkable location. Ultimately the property achieved a price close to list and allowed the sellers to transition seamlessly to their next chapter.
